Álafosslopi is one of Iceland's great wool classics. Thick, warm and remarkably light for its bulk, it's made for garments that can stand up to the elements. Its distinctive rustic texture comes from Icelandic sheep, whose wool has evolved to cope with rather challenging weather conditions.

A favourite for traditional Icelandic jumpers, outdoor knitwear and winter accessories, Álafosslopi creates beautifully insulating garments with plenty of character. This is proper, no-nonsense wool - a little rough around the edges, perhaps, but exceptionally good at its job.
